Effective exercises to combat prostatitis.

The main principle of prostatitis treatment is an integrated approach. It is not the last place in therapy occupied by physical activity: special exercises that will help accelerate the onset of recovery. But they must be performed correctly, according to the technique, and only after consultation with the attending physician.

To completely get rid of diseases of the genitourinary system, a man needs complex treatment, which includes a number of measures. This includes physical exercises, of which a lot has been developed at this time.

How does exercise affect the course of prostatitis?

The prostate gland consists of 3 lobes, between which there is a space for the urethra. Each lobe contains vesicular fiber and cortex, and the prostate lies below the bladder (sphincter). This whole system is closely interconnected, so it works normally.

When the prostate is affected (there are many reasons, including a sedentary lifestyle, static postures), the fiber loses its elasticity, the tone decreases, and the blood circulation is interrupted. Therefore, the blood is not supplied with the intensity with which it is needed and in small quantities. This deprives the genitals of nutrients. As a result, the synthesis of new cells slows down and the local metabolism weakens.

When the patient begins to lead an active lifestyle (doing special exercises for the pelvic organs), the following occurs:

  1. The blood supply to the genitourinary system is stimulated, against the background of which oxygen and other useful substances are fed.
  2. The functional capacity of nerve cells is restored (prostatitis often occurs against a background of stress).
  3. The stagnation of the prostate is eliminated.
  4. The muscles of the perineum and the hip joints are strengthened, so that the genitourinary organs are in the correct anatomical position.
  5. The metabolism is accelerated, the structure of the fibers is normalized.
  6. The tissues become more flexible.
  7. The inflammatory process is reduced.

The effectiveness of physical activity for prostatitis has been proven by scientific research. The reason for this was the main cause of the disease: congestion of the prostate due to poor blood supply.

Exercises for the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

Gymnastic exercises for chronic prostatitis are aimed at stimulating the prostate gland and increasing potency. Basic exercise requirements:

  • act on a hard surface;
  • put a rolling pin or small pillow under your head;
  • avoid sudden movements;
  • initially the load is minimal, but with a gradual increase.

Consider 4 basic exercises for chronic prostatitis:

  1. Take a supine position. Place your hands along your body with your palms facing down. As you exhale, gently bend your knees and pull them toward your chest. Then spread your legs to the sides as much as you can. As you inhale, return to the starting position. Run 15-20 times.
  2. The starting position is the same. Bend your legs at the knee, press your feet firmly against the floor. We begin to extend the legs to the sides, without lifting the heels from the surface.
